Walla Walla Community College is proud to highlight the impact of its First-Year Experience program, recently featured by the Union-Bulletin.
As shared in the article, WWCC’s First-Year Experience course is designed to help students build a strong foundation for college and beyond. The course introduces key skills like time management, goal setting, and navigating campus resources—while also helping students develop confidence and a sense of belonging.
The story highlights students like Bildad, who returned to school after years in the workforce and found guidance and support through the program. By connecting students to resources such as tutoring, financial aid, and basic needs support, WWCC ensures that students are not navigating college alone.
The article also notes the measurable impact of the program, with students who complete First-Year Experience significantly more likely to stay enrolled and complete their programs—demonstrating WWCC’s commitment to student success from day one.
This recognition reinforces WWCC’s mission to support all students—whether they are recent high school graduates, working adults, or returning learners—as they pursue their goals.
